CHARLES HUSCI-IER, OF GOLDEN, COLORADO.

ERASER-SUPPORTING MEANS FOR TYPEWRI'IERS.

Application filed February 11, 1922. Serial No. 535,736.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES I lusonnr, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Golden, County of Jefferson, and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eraser-Supporting Means for Typewriters; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de scription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebelng had to the accompanying drawings,

and to the characters of reference marked thereon, Which form a part of this specification. 1

This invention relates to means to be applied to a typewriter for the purpose of conveniently supporting an eraser thereon.

It is Well known that more or less trouble is always experienced by the typewriter 0 erators, due to the fact that the eraser becomes misplaced and is hard to find.

It is the object of this invention to provide a device that is of simple and cheap construction and which can be readily attached to the framework of a typewriter,

and which is provided with means for supporting the ordinary typewriter eraser.

In order to more clearly describe my invention, I shall have reference to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a typewriter with my supporting means applied thereto;

Fig. 2 is a side elevation ofone embodiment of mv invention;

Fig. 3 is an end view of the same with the eraser omitted;

Fig. 4 is aside elevation of a modified form of my invention; and

Fig. 5 is an end elevation thereof with the eraser omitted.

The same reference characters will be used to indicate the same parts throughout the several views.

Numeral 1 represents the framework of a typewriter to which my eraser supporter 2 is attached. My supporting means consists of a member 3 of thin flexible material whose upper and lower ends 4 and 5 respectively are curved in the manner shown in Figs. 3 and To the side of member 3 I attach by suitable means a box-like receptacle 6 having rear wall 7, bottom 8, and an upwardly extending portion 9 in the front. Members 6' and? form a receptacle wlthin'which the eraser. 10 may be placed. 'lhe supporting means is attached to the framework 1 in the manner shown in Figs. l, a and 5, that is, by bending the ends 4 and 5 about the top and the bottom of the frame 1.

In Figs. 4 and 5 I have shown a modified form in which the member 6 is replaced by a pair of arms 11, which are cut from the material of the plate 3 and bent outwardly therefrom and then parallel therewith. At

the bottom of plate 3 I provide another arm 12 which is bent outwardly at right angles to the plate Sand then upwardly. Arms 11 and 12 form means for holding the eraser in the manner indicated.

Iain aware that other specific forms of construction may be employed, and I do not wish to be restricted to the embodiments shown, but reserve the right to change my device within the scope of the appended claims.

Having now described my invention, what I claim is- 1. An eraser support adapted to hold a circular eraser and adapted to be attached to the framework of a typewriter, consisting of a member of flexible material having its opposite ends bent into the form of hooks whereby it may be attached and held in place on a typewriter frame, and means for holding an eraser, comprising a pocket formed on the outside of said member and adapted to engage the outside of the eraser and spaced points on the periphery thereof.

2. An eraser support adapted to hold a circular eraser andadapted to be attached to the framework of a typewriter, consisting of a member of flexible material having its opposite ends bent into the form of hooks whereby it may be. attached and held in place on a typewriter frame, and means for holding an eraser, comprising a pocket formed on the outside of said member, said pocket being secured to the member along three adjacent sides.

3. An eraser support adapted to hold a circular eraser and adapted to be attached to the framework of a typewriter, consisting of a member of flexible material having its opposite ends bent into the form of hooks whereby it may be attached and held. in place on a typewriter frame, and means for holding an eraser, comprising port-1011s extending outwardly r0111 said member and means extending substantially parelle with said member and spaced therefrom.

In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.

CHARLES HUSCHER.
